One of the magical things about 'pintxos' (the Basque word for pinchos, or tapas) is the variety. This is why I decided to select pintxos from just one bar to give you an idea of what you can get without changing bars. This bar, La Tapa in Bilbao is particularly good, but there are others that are similar. I found this bar in a nondescript street in the student district of Bilbao - with a little bit of exploring you too will find some gems! Read more on Pintxos (Pinchos) in the Basque Country.
